Presents

Having prepared your text, including numbers and images, it's natural to want to present it. Presents is the Applixware Office application used for preparing presentations. The basic idea is to prepare a series of slides - which may be actual slides, or overheads, or paper pages, or even screen images. The slide preparation interface is very similar to Graphics, so much so that you suspect they may be the same program with different Preferences settings. However, Presents has a selection of templates and canned presentation types to help you get started. It also provides a storyboard interface, and an outliner interface, as well as the ability to attach author's notes to each slide. Finally, it lets you play the slides back on the screen. Playing back slides with transitions that included moving objects would cause Applixware Office to exit unexpectedly. Other than that, Presents is a perfectly workable utility for preparing presentations in several formats.
